According to a local Louisville, Kentucky TV station, Ford Motor Company has begun temporary layoffs of 1,800 workers as they shut down a shift from one of the area’s two Ford truck plants. “I’m gonna take the next buy-out if they offer it,” says 29-year Ford employee Hollis Booker. “We ain’t sellin’ near as many trucks, we ain’t doin’ that,” says Aaron Mills. “I think it’s the gas prices… I think eventually, we’re gonna get laid off.”
